[OS X TeX] Re: Illustrator CS and WARMFigToPDF 4.0.3

[Stephen Moye]

I missed out on the earlier discussion of this problem, but wanted to 
add this: I had some problems with PDF files not placing where they 
were supposed to. It turned out that the origin of the rulers in 
Illustrator was not coincident with the lower left-hand corner of the 
problem figures that were saved as PDFs out of Illustrator. This caused 
all sorts of problems, because the PDFs looked fine.
